I think we should be dogfooding as much as we can. Also, we could do

I get this:

Running runnable tests
gnumake[1]: *** No rule to make target `test_results/runnable/A16.d.out', needed
 by `run_runnable_tests'.  Stop.
gnumake: *** [start_runnable_tests] Error 2

(gnumake is just cygwin make, renamed). Any ideas?
